O Me! O Life!

by Walt Whitman


O me! O life!... of the questions of these recurring;
Of the endless trains of the faithless -- of cities fill'd with the foolish;
Of myself forever reproaching myself, (for who more foolish than I, and who more faithless?)
Of eyes that vainly crave the light -- of the objects mean -- of the struggle ever renew'd;
Of the poor results of all -- of the plodding and sordid crowds I see around me;
Of the empty and useless years of the rest -- with the rest me
intertwined;
The question, O me! so sad, recurring -- What good amid these, O me, O ;ife?

Answer.

That you are here -- that life exists, and identity;
That the powerful play goes on, and you will contribute a verse
